You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world….The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way…people look at reality, then you can change it.

Don’t you know I come from a long line of people who died for the franchise opportunity.

It’s my right

It’s my duty

To choose who represents me

To choose how you tax me

To choose how you use my money

To choose who I love, who can be my honey

Cause I am a citizen of this great nation that we call America.

No longer three fifths or an immigrant, Nope I am a full citizen.

And I understand what that means

So I won’tbe distracted by your small lies that are being protracted, in which you’re attempting to create havoc thinking that I am misinformed or that I might fall for the banana in the tail pipe! Nope, that ain’t happening tonight.

Cause I don’t live in fright nor ignorance. I have watched this country and I know where we have been. “Take America Back,” to where and when is what I ask.

There is no time that I want to go back to, but only a beloved community that I look forward too.

So, your rhetoric is antiquated and it really highlights your hatred, or rather your fear that you will lose privilege as others gain more freedoms and agency.

Yet, you believe in the American Dream, but only for a few and never for the least. Don’t get it twisted I have not drunk the Kool-Aid, I know the government aint all right, but I do know that if I don’t vote, I have no voice and I can’t give voice to those whom I say I love.

Therefore, I vote in hope that my vote will give hope to those without hope. I vote as one way of participating in the political process.
